Thank you very much for your comments and your observations.

Beside the shadow/highlight adjustment + Midtone contrast, I duplicated the layer and after that I went filter > other >high pass (Radius 10.0 pixels).After that I went to Background copy layer and I changed the NORMAL to HARD LIGHT. I left the opacity 100%.

Thank you, James. If you allow me, I would like to say that the light comes from four flashes (two vivitar 285HV one vivitar 283 and one sunpak 383). I had home made diffuser on them and they were aiming the ceiling. About the digital process, I adjusted shadow/highlight and I increased midtone contrast.

Jayme,

I don't mind at all. It's my pleasure.

I went to shadow/highlight and I adjusted them and before

clicked OK I increased the Midtone contrast.

Thanks for your kind comment.

Petro,

It's exactly as you said, simple and funny picture. Mommy & kids came back from shopping; they showed me the T-shirts they bought. The photo clicked in my mind right away; so I asked them to put them on and pose for me. Unfortunately, they did not want to pose together because they had a big argument that night (maybe that's the reason they bought those T-shirts). I had not other choice than photographing them separately.

So,what you see here is two photos merge.

The background was a white sheet and the lights I used were four vivitar (two 283 and two 285HV) bunching on the ceiling.

PS

Petro, tell me your size; I'll send you one :).

My Best Regards for you and your family.
